But the gunge goes down a treat, hot or tepid.

I was covered in green gunge and so was my cake.
|
|
It was basically a threesome with tinned foods and neon gunge.
|
|
I just love getting the girls over to watch a couple of Dave Benson Phillips' best of videos over a cup of gunge.
|
|
Attractions at the park included a thatched train taking visitors to and from Crinkley Bottom station, Throttled Cock farm, the Narnia tunnel and the gunge mines.
|
|
Whenever people mention the late 25s, it's invariably tied up with a kind of gooey nostalgia about Pokémon cards or UK Garage or green gunge or proper pills.
|
|
I would imagine my own mum, her eyes wide with shock and sadness as neon green gunge slowly enveloped her face to a chorus of hisses and boos, and would be so overwhelmed with guilt I would have to change channels.
|
|
I was too busy dunking my head in a vat of gunge like they used to do back on telly in the good old days when I used to wet the bed and shit in the garden and my mummy cut all my turkey dinosaurs up for me and my daddy used to share the bath with me and everything was fantastic.

Throughout the years, What Now has maintained the use of gunge and foam. Children, celebrities, parents and sometimes the presenters are often the subject of embarrassment in various gunge games. Examples include Happy Feet, Gunge Matters, Target your Teacher and Tug of War and general gunging.
|
|
During the course of the competition, contestants were seated in a chair that moves along rails above four tanks containing either foam or gunge. The tanks were filled with foam, green gunge, foam, and red gunge consecutively. The fifth tank contains multi-coloured balls. While sitting in the chair, the contestants were asked questions.
|
|
If however, the celebrity chooses not to answer the question the child asking the question slides into the gunge tank (a pool of gunge similar to the one on Waaa!!!). The children move as they are sitting in or lying across a rubber ring on a ramp with their legs hanging out on the "gungeulator" a red and white travelator. If the child does slide into the gunge tank then they have to move over and sit in the gunge tank until the game is over.
|
|
The "question line" and "gungeulator" segments no longer featured. The "Gunge Gallery" along with a tweaked "dunk beds" featured instead. The "Gunge Gallery" is five gunge tanks in a row in which children (members of a karate club, football team etc.)would be sat and one child would be chosen to be gunged after each successful swap. Each Child would be gunged by the end of the programme.
|
|
For every question they answer correctly, their chair moves along to the next tank. However, if the contestants answer a question incorrectly or do not know the answer, they will be thrown into the foam or gunge tank below them if in the gunge a clown will chuck buckets of gunge on them. If they were successful in answering all five of their questions correctly, they would advance into the ball pit and attempt to collect as many silver balls as possible. The quality of the prize increased with the number of silver balls collected.
|
|
The first team to acquire all 3 blocks and place them together would be the winner. In later series the teams were reduced from 3 per team to 2, and the format of the "Final Risk" also changed. Whilst the obstacle course was maintained, at the end of it the team member in fancy dress would hand over to their teammate in normal uniform, and they would have to climb up a large inflatable slide next to the moat of gunge, whilst gunge was dropped on them from above. On reaching the top of the slide, they would raise a flag (signalling victory) then slide back down in to the moat of gunge at the bottom.
|
|
Series 2 ran from 9 May to 9 July 2007. 11\. Return of the Gun-gi. 12\. Yabba Dabba Don't! 13\. Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Gunge 14\.
|
|
In the second series, the final risk became more elaborate. During the obstacle course, the players in fancy dress would have to pick up a block, and press a button. Once they'd done this, it released their two teammates who would have to obtain the other two blocks. One of these required climbing up an inflatable cone, on a revolving part of the stage and surrounded by moats of gunge, and the other was hidden in the gunge itself.
|
|
The gunge tank got progressively more sophisticated. From Series One a standard tank was used, with an ornate look to it. Series Two introduced foam (often coloured) rising up from the bottom prior to the gunging. Series 3 introduced the 'Car Wash', where the individual was carried along a lengthier tank, going through a set of brushes designed to soak the victim, then having the gunge descend from above before being spun out of the contraption.
|
|
If they solved the puzzle, they had an opportunity to gamble their prize. By pulling a handle, they could either double their money, have random objects dropped on them, or be covered in gunge.
|
|
A regular feature for Series Four and Series Five, where a phone box modified to contain a gunge tank and a TV screen was placed somewhere in Britain. The code to get into the phone box was broadcast live on air, and the first viewer to reach the phone box got to play a game. Once inside, they had 45 seconds to rearrange a code on the screen to win a prize and get out again. If they ran out of time, they were covered in gunge.
|
|
The games the teams had to do involved gunge and were similar to those performed on It's a Knockout. Run the Risk borrowed much from its predecessor, Double Dare, which was also hosted by Peter Simon.
|
|
If the time runs out while a contestant is still in the chair, the contestant would get thrown into the foam or gunge tank below him. The end of show klaxon sounds like a car horn beeping.
|
|
Two challenges were cut from the show and the final challenge (Hider in the House) was also changed slightly. Instead of just the unsuspecting parent trying to find the real celebrity, it was changed so the children have to find mini cut outs of the celebrity and the unsuspecting parent the real one with clues from JK and Joel. Also the celebrity has to Push the Pedal and gunge the unsuspecting parent, otherwise the children don't get the prizes they have won. During the Chico episode, Push the Pedal backfired and all the gunge landed on Chico's leg.

This was a series of games that pitted boys against girls, competing for a prize. The losing team had to get into Nev's bath of gunge. The Games were Bear Pairs, Duckey Bounce, Nev's Jam Buster, Bandit Bites and Quick On The Draw.

Sparkle Friends is a New Zealand animated series produced by Mukpuddy Animation for New Zealand's long running children's show, What Now. The series stars the What Now presenters as children and a creature named Gun-gi, who vomits gunge, something that features heavily in What Now.

While the winner took his or her pick from a basket of toys, every runner-up won a much-envied marbled propelling pencil as a prize, which became so popular that in 1961 Queen Elizabeth was presented with Crackerjack pencils for Anne and Charles. In 1982, in a bid to boost flagging ratings, Crackerjack introduced gunge into its games and launched a new game called 'Take a Chance' in which the celebrity guests - one female, one male - could score extra points for the contestant they teamed up with by competing against Stu Francis in a quickfire question tie. A wrong answer or the opponent answering first would lead to Francis or the celebrity guest being covered in gunge.
|
|
The Gunge Tank was a booth with a large tank of slime at the top. A member of the public would sit inside and try to win prizes by answering a set number of questions before their time ran out. If they failed they would be 'gunged' by Noel Edmonds who would pull a lever at the side of the tank to empty the gunge over the contestant. Another item was "Clown Court", where a guest actor from a TV series would be on trial for all the bloopers made during the shooting of that show, such as Sylvester McCoy in the title role of Doctor Who, and Tony Robinson as his character of Baldrick in Blackadder the Third.
|
|
In series Four and Five, it was developed into the 'Trip Around The Great House', where the victim was placed on a miniature railway that took them on a journey around the set, finishing up in the giant fireplace, where gunge was finally released onto the victim. From Series Six, there were changes to the format, and gunge was used less frequently. For Series Eight, a member of the audience would be gunged by a tank lowered from the studio rafters, or their chair would be lowered into the undercroft of the seating area, where they were gunged, and came back up again. Edmonds was often gunged himself, usually in the final episode of a series.

Philo and Gunge (performed by Dave Goelz and Richard Hunt in the live-action series, voiced by John Stephenson and Bob Bergen in the animated series) are the heralds of the Trash Heap. They often introduce her as the "all-knowing, all-seeing Trash Heap! Nyeah!" They supply humor, bad jokes, and puns.
|
|
The Fraggles seek wisdom from Marjory the Trash Heap, who is located in a corner of the Gorgs' garden. Marjory the Trash Heap is a large, matronly, sentient compost heap. According to her rat-like companions Philo and Gunge, the Trash Heap "knows all and sees all." By her own admission, she has "everything".

In general, north of Gunge (part of the Ichinomiya-chō Tsuna-gun area of Awaji City) and Shizuki (part of Tsuna-chō Tsuna-gun area of Awaji City), the prosodic system includes examples not only like these, which can be found throughout the country, but a somewhat different system, found nowhere else in Hyōgo Prefecture.

The Saturday Show is a BBC children's show that aired on Saturday mornings. First aired in September 2001, it replaced the popular show Live & Kicking. It contained a mix of audience participation, cartoons, games and gunge. The initial presenters were Dani Behr and Joe Mace, who were replaced in 2002 and by Fearne Cotton and Simon Grant.
|
|
Double Dare was presented by Peter Simon, and it was best known for Simon to fall, during the final round, into the Gunge. It was replaced in later series of Going Live!, first by Clockwise, presented by Darren Day, and then by Run the Risk, which was again presented by Simon. The latter of these shows continued onto Live & Kicking.

Hayden-Smith became close friends with several of his fellow presenters, including Angellica Bell and Adrian Dickson. During his time on CBBC, Hayden-Smith was once gunged in the studio after a phone-in deciding which presenter should get gunged in honour of the gameshow Get Your Own Back. With 63% of the votes, Hayden-Smith had a bucket of pink gunge and a bucket of green gunge poured directly over his head. By this time he had begun presenting the UK Top 40 on CBBC. The show had begun in early 2002 along with the CBBC digital channel and was originally presented by Adrian Dickson and Konnie Huq. It was aired on Sunday nights concurrently with the Top 40 show on Radio One. After Dickson and Huq left the show in September 2004, Hayden-Smith was approached to become the sole presenter, having stood in for Dickson at the last minute one Sunday night several months previously.

Carried over from The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow, the gunge tank was put to various uses, usually gunging celebrities or unpopular members of the public after a phone vote was carried out during the show. Gunging usually took place in the final minutes of the show. Gunged guests/celebrities include Jenny Hull, Jilly Goolden, Mary Peters, Frank Carson, Keith Floyd, Lynn Faulds Wood, Kristian Schmid, Mat Stevenson, Anthea Turner, Nigel Mansell, Richard Whiteley, Carol Vorderman, Adam Woodyatt, Piers Morgan, Edwina Currie, Garry Bushell, Mr Motivator, Richard Clayderman, Gloria Hunniford, Jeremy Clarkson, Gary Olsen, Samantha Janus, Keith Harris and Orville, David Hasselhoff, Graham Cole, Anneka Rice, John Leslie, Paul McKenna, Annabel Giles, Nicola Stapleton, Bodger & Badger, Phillip Schofield, Andi Peters, The Chuckle Brothers, Robert Kilroy-Silk, John Virgo, Pat Sharp, Eamonn Holmes, Ulrika Jonsson, Ross King, Katie Boyle, Annabel Croft, Tony Blackburn, Bruno Brookes and Liz Kershaw. The 'gunge' was a food thickening agent called Natrosol, coloured with various food dyes.

Noel's House Party was the successor to The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow, carrying over some of its regular features such as the 'Gunge Tank', the 'Gotcha Oscar' and 'Wait Till I Get You Home'. The show had many celebrity guests posing as residents of Crinkley Bottom, including Frank Thornton and Vicki Michelle. It gave birth to Mr. Blobby in the Gotcha segment. There was also a contrived rivalry between Edmonds and Tony Blackburn.
|
|
Buchanan and Gregory remained. Generally Buchanan, Gregory and Roslin would present the studio elements with Johnson hosting the gameshow inserts It's Torture, Gunge 'em in the Dungeon and Mouse Trap (based upon the board game of the same name). By the third series, Andrea Arnold had left the programme entirely, with Tony Gregory also departing, replaced by former Children's BBC presenter Andy Crane. Crane, Buchanan, Roslin and Johnson remained as presenters until the end of the show's run.

Once the three women discovered the truth about Ethan's infidelity, they decided that "the best revenge is humiliation", exposed Ethan's lies and poured gunge over him in front of the entire village. Vye described the storyline as a "classic case of wanting what you can't have". He explained that Ethan was not ready to settle down and would end up alone. The actors involved made an effort to give the storyline a comedic tone, to keep it from becoming too serious.

Familiar concepts from anarchic children's programmes were present, such as slapstick humour featuring custard pies and gunge as visual punchlines, and a healthy disrespect towards authority. There were roughly 100 members in the Central Junior Television Workshop, which was split into two branches, one based in Birmingham, the other based in Nottingham. With a wide range of talent, different kids could be focused on each week for their own comedy routines. Impressions were quite popular, as were parodies of television programmes of the time.

The show introduced regular features such as the Gunge Tank, the Gotcha Oscars and Wait 'Til I Get You Home, which would all be carried across and subsequently developed in House Party. Another item was "Clown court", in which a guest actor from a TV series would be on trial for all the bloopers made during the shooting of that show, for example Sylvester McCoy for the title role of Doctor Who, and Tony Robinson for his character of Baldrick in Blackadder the Third.
|
|
Dunk Beds was a regular game on the show, in which one member of a team had to push a bed along a track with each part of it scored depending on how far it went. If the contestants pushed too hard, the bed would fall into a pool of green gunge. George Sampson was a contestant on the game before he was known as a contestant on the second series of Britain's Got Talent. Winner of BBC's Election (CBBC) Quincy Washington was also on Basil's Swap Shop competing against George Sampson.

Around six opening title sequences were pre- recorded, backed by Oddie's theme song, including a one-off Christmas Special sequence. Items featured on the show included a weekly chart rundown, with guest pop groups miming their latest hits, then being interviewed after being forced to slide down half of the main interior set. Children could also write- in with their 'dream activities', which show researchers would attempt to grant. One such feature saw Bill Oddie wrestle a small child in a side-sealed square filled with a foot of mud-coloured 'gunge'.
|
|
The opening games, each worth 25 points, were referred to as messy games and typically used gunge as opposed to food. One game would be for the two boys, another game for the two girls and a third game for all four players, though the order would vary from episode to episode. In later series occasionally all games would be for all four players. From Series 1 to 7 the contestants were usually barefoot when playing some of the messy games, this was discontinued from Series 8 until the show's end.

If she fell in, the kids laughed and said hurrah. In the last episode of Series 2 to Series 10, Daisy would set children a task where they would get themselves in trouble (usually by throwing food or gunge balloons at a policeman, some old ladies, or angry members of the public) but the plan would usually backfire and get Daisy into trouble. Daisy would also whistle to give the children a signal to perform. She is in the centre of the middle row, below the clown/dot to dot square.

Ministry of Mayhem was first broadcast on 10 January 2004 and aired weekly on a Saturday morning on ITV. The programme featured a mix of cartoons, celebrity guests, live music and phone-in competitions - with surreal characters, crazy games and a load of gunge thrown in for good measure. It was initially presented by CITV presenters Stephen Mulhern, Holly Willoughby and Michael Underwood. The theme tune was sung by little-known boyband The Noise Next Door and can be found as a B-side to their debut single "Lock Up Ya Daughters".
|
|
On 7 January 2006 after a Christmas break, the programme returned with a new format, design, theme tune, and name - Holly and Stephen's Saturday Showdown. The format consisted of Willoughby and Mulhern inviting viewers and celebrities into their 'flat' to participate in a battle of the sexes. The teams had to earn points from the games they played, and which ever team had the most points by the end of the show would be the winner, with the losing team having to face a forfeit (e.g. getting covered in gunge).

Marcus Garvey returned to play Ugly Yeti and the name had been changed to Basil and Barney's Swap Shop, not to forget the studio set refurbished. Dunk Beds and Yettis In Space returned, and 'Gold Brush Gold Rush' became the second game during the show. 'Gold Brush Gold Brush' is set in a western style town and the two teams have to power a conveyor belt with buckets of gunge up to a holder - the team who fills their holder goes through to the next game. This series saw host Barney Harwood absent for a few editions for some unknown reasons.

Don Baker, a fellow contestant on the show, asked Donna to perform a concert with him at the Helix on 18 September 2008. On 17 November 2008, both Donna and Joe were invited to guest present The Podge and Rodge Show. During the show Donna took over from Lucy Kennedy's spot, whilst Joe was soaked with purple gunge whilst singing the Prince classic "Purple Rain". On 26 December 2008, Donna was invited to appear on an RTÉ Christmas special, a comedy skit show in which Katherine Lynch starred as Singing Bernie Walsh, a character from her RTÉ show Katherine Lynch's Wonderwomen.

A Triffid was operated by a man crouched inside, cooled by a fan installed in its neck; the 'clackers' were radio controlled. The gnarled bole, based on the ginseng root, was made of latex with a covering of sawdust and string while the neck was fibreglass and continued down to the floor, where it joined with the operator's seat. The plant was surmounted by a flexible rubber head, coated with clear gunge. After the end of the production one was displayed for a while in the Natural History Museum in London; They were designed by Steve Drewett who worked there.

She has an uncle named Maximillian (which was somehow spelled with a "silent Q"), whom she refers to as "Uncle Max". In the animated series, Marjory speaks in a Jewish/Yiddish accent. Although being made of the Gorgs's junk, and having no real need for clothing, Philo and Gunge occasionally lavish her with jewelry (headbands and bracelets made of random objects), and often looks at her Fraggle clientele through a pair of spectacles mounted on a stick. The character has a popular aftermath in the German version of the serial where Marjory is named Allwissende Müllhalde (engl.

In 2007, it had been reported that TMi had used a fake phone-in caller during the game, Birthday Bingo, on the first show. The second series in 2007 saw the demise of the TMi flat and the introduction of a new theme where each week the presenters encouraged viewers to become their 'friend' on the show's website. Nixon, Rhodes and Flack would participate in various challenges, mostly involving gunge, in the hope of gaining new friends. This series also saw a change of location from MTV in Leicester Square to TC9 at BBC Television Centre, and a reduced time slot from the original 165 to 90 minutes.

These 'locations' were in fact elaborate studio sets dressed to resemble each week's location, such as the North Pole, a space station, Hollywood, or Niagara Falls. The ironically cheap production values of these sets were frequently made light of by Edmonds. The programme was a slow-burning success, and following the third series in 1990, Edmonds' popularity and reputation were sufficiently re-established with the public for Edmonds to pitch Noel's House Party to the BBC. The show also introduced regular features such as the Gunge Tank, the "Gotcha Oscars" and "Wait 'Till I Get You Home", which would all be carried across and subsequently developed in Noel's House Party.

Gong is a surname which can be found throughout Eurasian continent. It is the English transcription of a number of different Chinese surnames: 江, 宫, 龔, 共, 公, 鞏, 功, 貢, and 弓. Gong may also be a Korean surname, but this Korean Gong may be the English transcription of another surname Kong (孔). The surname Gong also recorded in over seventy spellings and found throughout Europe in forms including Hue, Hugh, Hugo, Hew, the Swisse Huge, the Bavarian Hugg and the French aphetics Gan, Gange, Gon, Gong, Gonge, Gonger, Gunge, the diminutives Hugett, Huelin, Hugonneau, Gangee, Gangey, Gonnet, Gonout, Gonoude, and the Italian Ughini, this is a name which is ultimately of pre 7th century German origins.

Other regular features included a narrated story about the adventures of Magic, Timmy's cockatiel, various phone-in quizzes (typically at the end of the programme) where a selected viewer would compete in some gunge-related competition, and a short five-minute cartoon, such as Batfink or Dick Tracy. Although some minor items appeared and were retired over the years, the overall structure of the series remained the same throughout the show's life. The self-proclaimed 'show your telly was made for' eventually became even more successful than Wide Awake Club and is the programme for which Mallett is probably best remembered. In fact, many of Timmy's trademarks, such as his giant pink mallet Pinky Punky (introduced in 1990) and Timmy's 'bleugh!' catchphrase originated on Wacaday.

Hammond has taken an approach that has come from years of working on Top Gear with elements of Brainiac: Science Abuse. The show also features Hammond's prized 1963 Opel Kadett car named "Oliver", which he acquired for the Top Gear: Botswana Special. Hammond's "Ninja Nan", who acts as security at the Blast Lab (and who never speaks), is introduced at the start of each episode as substitute for SAS guards who, for a different reason in each episode, are absent. Ninja Nan also displays the prizes the winning team will be taking home with them, as well as those the losing team would have won, after the final challenge, which is called the 'Messy Messy Mess Test' and involves both teams and a large tank of gunge.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is also used extensively in the oil & gas industry as a drilling mud additive under the name HEC as well in industrial applications, paint & coatings, ceramics, adhesives, emulsion polymerization, inks, construction, welding rods, pencils and joint fillers. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is one of the main ingredients in the personal lubricant KY Jelly. It is also a key ingredient in the formation of big bubbles as it possesses the ability to dissolve in water but also provide structural strength to the soap bubble. Among other similar chemicals, it is often used as slime (and gunge, in the UK), a gooey substance often used on television and in fundraising events which is poured over individuals with the aim of causing embarrassment.

The Sooty Show featured two different formats during its broadcast history, the latter being later used in future programmes featuring the character of Sooty. The first format that it used, created by Harry Corbett, focused on a series of comedic sketches tailored towards amusing young children, including practical jokes, gunge and cream messes, and magic tricks. Over time, the format expanded with the addition of other characters, and introduced a studio audience element to the programme consisting of young children, as well as incorporating music and guest stars to episodes. The format was maintained when the programme was moved from the BBC to ITV in 1968, and when it was taken over by Harry's son Matthew, after his retirement in 1976.

The show takes place on the site of the shipwreck of the Scarlet Squid, in which three "naughty pirates" − Captain Sinker/Captain Captain/Captain HeyHo and her hapless shipmates Cook and Line – have stolen and hidden Gem's five jewels. Four children challenge in a series of games to try to win back the jewels, under the watchful eye of the ship's parrot Squawk. After two games, either 5, 4 or 3 jewels are hunted against the clock as the children try to find them hidden within the shipwreck. If the children successfully retrieve all of the jewels then a wheel with three sections (four in series 5-6) is spun to determine which of the three pirates (or all of them, in series 5-6) must walk the plank into the gunge-filled Ship's Mess.

If the team succeeds, their opponent will move one space down the track (knocking down a hand on their track in the process), and the team themselves will move down one space if they fail to come up with the requisite answers in time. If the team who won Tube Strike is present in the final, they may use the Hand of Friendship as an automatic correct answer by calling out "Hand of Friendship". Whoever moves down six spaces and knocks over the final hand, the "clag barrier", is the loser, and the winning team gets to pull a lever that sends the losing team down the track. At the end of the track are chutes filled with "clag" (yellow/green gunge), which will be poured on the losing team as they pass under the chutes.

In 1979 he began drawing "Judge Dredd" for IPC's 2000 AD, and during the early to mid-1980s, Ron Smith was by far the most prolific artist working on the character. Along with Brian Bolland and Mike McMahon he contributed to two of the character's most popular epic-length stories, "The Day the Law Died" and "The Judge Child". Amongst the more grotesque characters created by Smith was Otto Sump, Mega-City One's ugliest man, with Smith excelling himself in "The Otto Sump Ugly Clinic" depicting the horrific length citizens of the metropolis go to in making themselves look as physically repulsive as possible. Smith was responsible for the majority of ugly-spin-off stories including "Gunge", "Who Killed Pug Ugly?" about an ugly pop star and "The League of Fatties" about over-eaters gone to extremes (although the first Fatty story was actually drawn by McMahon in a previous Annual).

Tollywood was the very first Hollywood-inspired name, dating back to a 1932 article in the American Cinematographer by Wilford E. Deming, an American engineer who was involved in the production of the first Indian sound film. He gave the industry the name Tollywood because the Tollygunge district in which it was based rhymed with "Hollywood", and because Tollygunge was the center of the cinema of India as a whole at the time much like Hollywood was in the cinema of the United States. In that same March 1932 article, Deming was also considering the name "Hollygunge" but decided to go with "Tollywood" as the nickname for the Tollygunge area due to "Tolly being a proper name and Gunge meaning locality" in the Bengali language. It was this "chance juxtaposition of two pairs of rhyming syllables," Holly and Tolly, that led to the name "Tollywood" being coined.

The present puppet design of Sooty since 2011 Sooty "xylophones" (which are actually glockenspiels) The franchise is focused upon the fictional character of Sooty, a glove puppet designed by magician and puppeteer Harry Corbett in the 1950s. Although fundamentally focused upon programmes for British children's television, it also incorporates a range of stage shows, as well as merchandising, such as glove puppets of Sooty and various characters in the franchise that were developed primarily by Corbett during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Much of the entertainment from the franchise is derived from a mixture of slapstick comedy, practical jokes, and magic tricks, with television programmes often incorporating music and songs within episodes, all of which is tailored towards young audiences. Slapstick routines involving subtle jokes with props - such as the use of a fake hammer by a puppet, who hits the handler often by accident or from a misunderstanding - and the use of cream pies, gunge and water.
